The Cottage


The Cottage
The key was in the door so I pushed the door open. It opened with a loud creaking noise, it had always needed to be oiled. I had to accustom my eyes to the dark when I walked through. The first thing that hit me was the smell of turf which came from the open fire. It was a lovely smell  Light filtered through from the small kitchen at the side. The woman of the house was standing there preparing dinner just as things had been for years. At the back was the bedroom with the door closed. Therein lay the mystery.
